Somehow it all works

Okay, where to begin with this long overdue post? Apologies seem superfluous, so I’ll just get straight into it. I haven’t been idle lately, trust me, there’s been lots going on behind the scenes and, because I know you’re gasping to know what I’ve been up to, in no...

You know how us travellers just love to be always planning our next adventure. If I've got nothing planned then there's something wrong, so … what's on next year? Well, I have some very exciting news on that front because … DRUM ROLL PLEASE … In conjunction with Deb...

Arthur's Seat. It’s a weird name for a hill and no one can really agree on where it came from or what it means but all the same, it’s a hill, I was there and it needed climbing. You know me by now, put a hill or a mountain in my way and I have to go up it. Edinburgh...

Lots of years ago (2002 to be precise) I took part in an excavation of part of the Fishbourne Roman Palace in Sussex as part of my studies in Romano British history. I became enthralled with the subject and eventually went on to successfully complete a PhD in Romano...

It was on my list and it needed ticking off. What other reason could there possibly have been for me climbing the highest peak in England? It was there, it needed doing and it was the finale to my month of hiking in the UK. The Hadrian’s Wall Walk was done, the...

A couple of weeks ago I spent a wonderful weekend in a Victorian hunting lodge in the Scottish countryside, on a weekend wellness retreat, with a lovely group of ladies. Now I must admit this is the first retreat I’ve been on and there was a little uncertainty sitting...

Just as I’ve become a hiker in my sixties so I’ve also become a house sitter - both are things I never saw myself doing when I looked into my future during my earlier years. In my 20s, 30s and even 40s I’d thought my future was pretty much mapped out - children grow...

I think it's fair to say that I'm not a fan of late nights and I'm particularly not a fan of late boozy nights. So when my daughter and granddaughter suggested a couple of hours in Perth, an early dinner, a couple of drinks and home in time to watch the Good Karma...

Climbing to the summit of Bluff Knoll has been on my radar since I first started hiking. It’s one of those things that I just needed to be able to put a tick against, and this week I finally did, that tick is firmly in place. Bluff Knoll, at 1095 metres is the highest...

It all started with a trek to Everest Base Camp when I was two months short of my sixtieth birthday. What the ....? I'd never trekked (or hiked) before, I'd never been to that altitude before but for some inexplicable reason it seemed like a good thing to do at the...

Hello there. Wherever you are in the world and whenever you're reading this I hope you've got a brilliant day planned and that you're out to have some fun, because isn't that what life's about really? Speaking of which, in the last 12 months I've made my life what I...
